Senate President Godswill Akpabio has been attacked by Senator Ali Ndume and others for passing certain bills without properly informing members.
At a sitting on Thursday, Ali Ndume said:
“The rate at which the Senate President passes bills without formal reading and members’ contributions is not good.”
“You are just passing bills without prior notification, including money bills, you just pass bills within 2 hours without anyone’s contribution. This is not good for Nigeria.”
Also, Senator Ogoshi Onawo said:
“Sir, you are on the seat today, history is going to judge you that things like this are not good for this country.”
However, Akpabio in his reaction said:
“If the bills we are passing are good for the country, history will judge me right. I don’t think we would come here to pass a bill that’s not good for the interest of Nigerians.”
“So, your point of order is noted.”
